I got the 10 lap shoot out for Christmas and finally got to do it in August, was one of the coolest things I've ever done, I was really nervous, but once I got through the class and into the car I calmed down, the crew they have there talked like everybody is a friend, my spotter was very clear...

I have run with the Petty Driving experience 6 times over the last numerous years at larger tracks such as Atlanta, Daytona, Las Vegas, Charlotte and Orlando. Within the past few weeks I had the opportunity to complete a racing experience (50 laps) at Chicagoland Speedway. I can tell you that the Petty experience is without a doubt the leader...

This was an amazing experience. I was able to do a 5 lap ride along that was amazing. I had a very good driver, Chris, and would recommend this to anyone. I can't wait to get the chance to do it again.

best experience of my life. definitely will do it again! driving the race car was the single most exciting thing I have ever done. The cars are really great shape and handle fantastically.

We have done the race car driving experience twice at this location. The first time a couple of years ago it was Richard Petty. It's now the Rusty Wallace Driving Experience.

Had a blast running around the 1.5 mile track at an estimated 160 mph. My family came along to watch and even got to take the kids in a van around the track. So much fun that you have to try it for yourself.

I purchased a Petty driving experience for my husband and he really enjoyed it! I had mixed feelings about "hanging out" while he did this, but was pleasantly surprised. It is a well run event, has plenty of seating, very clean. I would have appreciated a snack vendor though! They did have water and souvenirs for purchase.

Fantastic. Do the drive a car and then you'll know what it's like to be in a race.
10 laps is amazing- you can get the package 1/2 price through Groupon and the ride along deal is about $66 for 3 laps at race speed
